The region's proximity to rivers and reservoirs also brings in anglers looking to preserve largemouth bass, catfish, and other freshwater catches.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes eastern NC deer different from Piedmont deer for mounting purposes?
Coastal Plain whitetails in North Carolina often have different body proportions and coat characteristics compared to their Piedmont counterparts, which affects form selection and finishing work. A taxidermist familiar with eastern NC deer understands these differences and chooses materials accordingly.
Can B.A.D. BOYZ Taxidermy mount wild hogs?
Wild hog mounts are increasingly popular in eastern North Carolina where feral hog populations are high. Full-body and shoulder mounts for hogs are possible, though the hide preparation is different from deer and requires specific handling to avoid slippage.
How do I handle a duck or goose after harvest if I want it mounted?
Keep the bird as dry as possible, avoid washing it, and store it in a plastic bag without squashing the feathers. Freezing it as soon as possible in a natural resting position, rather than with wings folded tightly, gives the taxidermist the best material to work with.
What's the turnaround time for waterfowl mounts in Rocky Mount?
Waterfowl mounts typically take 3 to 5 months depending on the species and the studio's seasonal workload. Duck season brings a surge in bird drop-offs, so getting yours in early after harvest helps secure a better spot in the queue.
Can I get antlers mounted without doing a full shoulder or skull mount?
Yes, antler-only mounts on a plaque or panel are a straightforward and affordable option if you want to display the rack without a full mount. You can also have shed antlers or antlers from a prior season mounted this way.
Does the studio offer any kind of warranty or guarantee on mount quality?
Many professional taxidermists stand behind their work and will address issues like cracking, loose eyes, or paint fading if they result from the mounting process rather than improper care. It's worth asking about their policy when you drop off your specimen.
